Crops need a sheltered environment, protected from the extreme temperatures and frightening levels of radiation found on the moon's surface, with water, carbon dioxide and light.
Corals 'bleach' when they are under stress, which typically has been caused by an increase in sea-surface temperatures (but which could be also brought on by variations in light, carbon dioxide (CO2) levels or pollutants).
First up, while carbon fiber is strong and light, it also lacks a certain rigidity.

The rum is aged in a combination of new un-charred American oak and used American Whisky barrels, and then blended with older rums for consistency and carbon filtered to create a light and complex rum.

Though the carbon nanotubes absorb infra-red light, they are almost totally transparent to the visible variety.
For the most part, travellers were enthusiastic about riding the light-weight, carbon-composite 787, and sampling some of the added comforts it promises.
Composed of light-absorbing, colloidal quantum dots linked to carbon-based fullerene nanoparticles, these tiny two-particle systems can convert light to electricity in a precisely controlled way.

Even with its thin and light design, the X1 Carbon Touch packs a punch.

"It's unlikely that carbon dating will be able to shed much light on the dates of these individuals, " said Professor McCormac.
By analysing the isotopic composition of hydrocarbon molecules from plant waxes of the period, he found what looks like a spike in the amount of recently non-biological carbon (which has a distinctive ratio of light isotopes to heavy ones), lasting between 10, 000 and 20, 000 years.

The process involves slathering on a carbon-based lotion, which absorbs the laser light and damages the hair follicles.
With the additional data that the satellites provide, researchers hope finally to shed light on the Earth's complicated carbon cycle.

With satellites providing data from thousands of additional locations, researchers hope finally to shed light on the Earth's complicated carbon cycle.
ECONOMIST: Two new satellites will monitor carbon dioxide emissions
Without any intervention from politicians or environmentalists societies that progress have been using m ore fuels that have less carbon with higher energy density (1 kg of wood fuels a light bulb for 1 day, 1 kg of coal fuels a light bulb for 4 days, 1 kg of crude oil for 5 days, 1kg of methane for 6 days and 1 kg of uranium for over 140 years).
Both diamond and a new compound called graphine are made of carbon and are reported to move energy as close to the speed of light as we may achieve.
Light ones are more easily deflected than heavy ones, so the two forms of carbon get separated, and when each atom reaches a detector at its expected arrival spot, it can be counted.
The all-carbon formula doesn't need to be thickly spread to do its work, and it simply lets visible light through -- it could layer on top of a traditional solar cell to catch many more of the sun's rays.
